Comments:

I started too fast but I had time to correct it and by the 2nd Km I was at my normal race pace. By the 10th Km I had a slight pain on my right side which slowed me down for about 1 Km but I recovered pretty well and ended up very strong
What would you do differently?:

Would start slightly slower

Event comments:

There were lots of volunteers and plenty of drink stations, however only two of the drink stations had water, all the others had an isotonic drink which was not familiar to me. The public was awesome!

Very good time for the 1/2 marathon.  Was the drink they had called Aquarius?  That stuff tastes good, but I once tried it for the first time during a race (very stupid) and actually started to get a side stitch on the bike!  So I stopped drinking it and was fine.  Good call not to try it in the race.

Exactly... Aquarius. I think they're trying to sell the product...
